An impressive and flexible family home close to Durdham Downs.
An impressive six/seven bedroom Victorian semi-detached family home, measuring approximately 3,541 sq ft, with flexible accommodation currently spread over three floors. An extensive cellar (812 sq ft) sits beneath the main house and provides ample storage and the potential to convert into further living accommodation subject to the necessary planning consents.
Entry is via a ground floor entrance hall where the generous proportions are immediately visible. At the front elevation, the bay-fronted drawing room is flooded with natural light via three large sash windows overlooking the front garden. A number of period features are still intact including a fireplace, picture rails and coving. Stripped wood flooring runs underfoot and flows seamlessly into the adjacent dining room with further fireplace and two sash windows. Across the hall and at the rear, a generous sitting room benefits from ample natural light due to the sunny orientation and a pleasant outlook over the private rear garden. The sizeable kitchen/breakfast room has a range of wall and base units, gas range cooker with extractor above and space for further appliances. A door leads into the utility room which in turn provides access to the level rear garden. Completing the ground floor accommodation is a useful shower room with WC and basin.
There are six/seven bedroom spread across the first and second floors, served by two further bathrooms. At present, two of the bedrooms are positioned on the first floor mezzanine (bedrooms three and four on the floorplan). The first and second floors are currently accessed via an external cast iron staircase this space is set up as a four bedroom maisonette with a separate sitting room (principal bedroom on the floorplan), kitchen, bathroom and separate shower room. The property could be reinstated back into one large family home straightforwardly and would offer a flexible footprint.
The south-facing garden is enclosed by boundary walls and enjoys sun throughout much of the day. There is a patio area immediately outside leading to a lawn with raised borders and a number of plants, shrubs and trees. There is gated access at the side of the property.

A large family home with an impressive footprint which could be adapted to suit a number of different requirements. I love the sunny garden and proximity of the open space of Durdham Downs.
